Ashburton family wins $28.6m
Tonight’s prize pool comes just days after an Ashburton family claimed an astonishing $28.6 million with Powerball First Division.
The winning ticket was sold at Four Square Netherby in Ashburton.
They are regular Lotto players and have used the same numbers for years across five lines on a $7.50 Powerball Pick Your Own ticket.
Their ticket landed them the Powerball jackpot, as well as three Lotto First Division prizes worth $200,000 each.
The winning family, who do not want to be identified, claimed the 11th-largest win in Lotto NZ history.
“It was such a mix of emotions all at once – my husband cried, and none of us knew what to do with ourselves,” the winner said.
What to do if you win
Ticket holders can immediately see if they have won if they bought a ticket through the MyLotto app. Prizes of $1000 or less are automatically credited to the winner’s account.
For prizes exceeding $1000, winners must complete an online prize claim form.
Winners with physical tickets must still visit a Lotto retailer to claim their prize.
For the Powerball jackpot to be claimed, a ticket holder must get all six Lotto numbers correct as well as the Powerball number.
